Claasi ^tetorp
On a bright and sunny morning in September, 1903, twenty lively girls
started their careers as Freshmen at St. Mary's School. How homesick all of
us were, but soon having become acquainted with the teachers, the girls, and
the different school buildings, we no longer felt at all out of place. Of course,
at first, we were rather " green," and on several occasions we did not fail to show
it, but remembering our motto, " Tenax Propositi," we did not become dis-
couraged.
Fourteen of us happily returned to school as Sophomores. How glad we
were to get back to the old place, to see once again our school-mates from whom
we seemed to have been so long separated ; yet we missed and longed for the faces
of those who had not returned. By mounting slowly, yet firmly, we gained
entrance into the Junior Class, with the exception of one of our members — where
is she? Echo answers, where?
As a class, numbering only nine in the Senior year, bound together by
common love, interest and toil, we have stood together and won our race. Now
that the career of the Class of Naughty-Seven is drawing to a close, we realize
what separation means, each one going out into the world, taking up perhaps
different tasks in life.
We sometimes get into a meditative mood, our thoughts wander over the
four years of our lives spent in the buildings, the Grove, and the Chapel, and the
question arises, where are our school-mates who started with us in 1903? Some
have entered the State of Matrimony, while others have entered into society.
We have come at last to the foot of the Mountain, but prepared, we hope,
by our school training, we are now ready and waiting to conquer it. We will
ascend to higher ambitions, higher aims, where we will plant the colors of St.
Mary's on the topmost point.

(1 was elected class prophet! This thought worried me for weeks and weeks, for, try
as I might, I could not discover that I had any natural ability in that line — or any ability
at all, if the truth must be told. It was most distressing, for the Editor-in-chief had
announced that all matter for the Annual must be handed in by a certain day, and that day
was fast approaching. What should I do? I was in despair. I racked my brain but could
find no ideas whatever. I wept and wailed, but all to no purpose. The prophecy had to be
written, and written at once. Then came the solution.)
One night, as I sat alone in a state of utter misery, I heard a gentle voice at
my side. "What is the matter?" it said; "perhaps I can help you." I turned
and beheld the tiniest man I ever saw. He was about six inches high and dressed
entirely in brown, with a brown pointed cap and brown pointed shoes. I was so
amazed I could only stare with mouth and eyes wide open. " May I not help
you? " he asked. " Oh, if you only would," said I. " Can you prophesy? " He
smiled. " I am prophet to the King of the Brownies, and it is much easier to
foretell the fate of mortals than that of Brownies." I was delighted. " I must
prophesy the fate of nine girls," I began, " and — " " Just tell me their names,"
he interrupted eagerly. " Well, there's the President, Beatrice Cohen." " She,"
he said, " will go to Europe to have her voice thoroughly trained so that when
she returns she will be able to sing in church on a Sunday morning. She will
soon grow tired of singing only once a week, and will go on the stage. There
she will make a great hit with the classic song which begins, ' " Will you walk a
little faster? " said the Whiting to the Snail.' Her success in this line will insure
her a position for life."
" Helen Ball," he continued, looking over my shoulder at the list of names,
"will continue to cultivate her poetical gift, and she will become one of the greatest
of Southern poets. Engrossed in her work, she will not even think of such a
subordinate being as a man."
" Heber Birdsong will go to Smith, where she will take a higher course in
Mathematics and the degree of Ph.D. But, alas for the cause of education !
before she has time to teach, as she had intended, she will turn her attention to
the building of a home." Here he paused, looked at the next name with a queer
expression, and proceeded: " Emily Carrison, after she has waited long for her
prince to come, and has finally given up all hope, will organize the ' Carrison
Select School for Girls ' in Camden, South Carolina, and will spend the rest of
her days teaching her many accomplishments to the girls of her State." " How
dreadful," said I, " that her prince should never come." " Don't interrupt," he
said severely, and I meekly pointed to the next name.
" Lillian Farmer will at first organize a kindergarten, but will soon give it
up when she discovers that only in debating is she at her best. As the chief
debater for the Consolidation of Women's Clubs she will astonish the world.
Her energy and her intellectual power will place her far above ordinary women.
She, like Helen, will not subject her power to one whom she would have to
' love, honor and obey.' Alice McCullers wishes to become a musician, but long
before she has reached that height she will forget for what she was striving
and yield to the pleadings of Johnnie. She will be very happy in her married
life and will not regret that she gave up her ' career.' " " I am glad to hear that
one of the class will be happily married," I remarked. He frowned darkly and
resumed :
" Sue Prince, popular, attractive, and a splendid dancer, will be the Society
Belle of the class. Money and titles will be laid at her feet, but, though tempted,
she will turn away from these things and marry a man who, though he has not
much money, has love, kindness, strength, gentleness — in fact, everything to
make a woman happy. Mary Spruill, for sometime after she graduates, will be
head of the Latin Department of the Blank School, and the high grades of her
pupils will be a wonder to the whole school. She has been known to say that
she thinks that any girl who would leave her mother to get married is a goose.
She will become one of these very same ' geese.' " The Brownie stopped. "And
what of me?" I asked timidly. "You," said he solemnly, "will go to a place far
from civilization and the haunts of men and there in the backwoods, for the rest
of your life and in single blessedness, you will 'teach the young idea how to
shoot.'" "Oh," I cried, "must this be?" There was no answer and when I
looked around he was gone, and our fates were sealed forever.

With careful step we climb the height,
And though the way seems long
We struggle on, maintain the fight,
In sunshine and in storm.
The road is rough, and steep, and hard,
The climbing is not play;
Achievement is the best reward
Of effort, day by day.
And now we come to this last day
When the lessons all are o'er,
Tenax propositi our cry
As ever heretofore.

ttye Color of tfje Summer g>fcp
You wonder why I love the blue;
Climb up on my knee and I'll tell you why,
And then, Wee One, you'll love it, too,
The color of the summer sky.
The light of heaven first I knew
In the radiant light of a mother's eye,
And her eyes, Wee One, they were of blue,
The color of the summer sky.
When later I to manhood grew,
A maid I loved — shall I tell you why?
My Wee One's mother's eyes are blue,
The color of the summer sky.
And last this Wee One climbs my knee,
And longs to know the reason why, —
I look into her eyes and see —
The color of the summer sky.
Helen Katharine Liddell.
Hongmg
Upon my heart a mist of grayness lies,
Cold, leaden, as the gray of winter skies,
And life seems only loneliness for me;
For I am longing for the South — and thee.
A bird sings on a barren branch nearby;
Its song is but a plaintive, longing cry
For something that is not, but yet could be,
Poor heart-sick bird! How much alike are we!

Can you ever forget your visits to the little old lady? The dear little old lady! You
used to go very often in those old days when you were a tiny girl. Her home was not
very far from yours, so you could run in almost every afternoon to see her. How glad you
were when you found her at home! Usually she was in the sitting-room, her willow rocking-
chair placed in the bay-window, her tall two-story work-basket at her side. For the little
old lady was always busy.
How distinctly you can see her, in her quaint black dress with its basque, spreading skirt
{for she still wore a hoop-skirt), and the crisp white cap that framed her dear face. The
hair that peeped from under the cap was brown, for the little old lady was just a bit vain,
and persisted in wearing a dark wig that she had first found becoming many years before.
But the touch of vanity did not spoil her or her appearance. Hers was the sweetest old face
in the world; sweet and yet roguish, too, for the mouth often broke into a smile and the
twinkling eyes would join in expressing her merriment.
If you found her sewing, she would tell you wonderful stories of her far-away youth,
perhaps of how when a wee girl she and her eight-year-old brother traveled from South Caro-
lina to Connecticut alone; how they made the long journey by boat and by stage-coach. Or
she would describe her great-grandmother and the various uncles and aunts with whom she
had lived until her marriage. Once she told you of how she and her husband went to a
play, how she was shocked at one of the actresses "carrying on" as if she were crazy and
how "Mr. Frink" (the little old lady's husband) explained that the woman was only acting.
The little old lady, however, did not seem convinced of her sanity, and perhaps harbored a
suspicion of the wisdom of theatre-goers in general.
When the story-telling was over and the little old lady saw that you were hungry —
and of course she could tell that by intuition — she would trip to the closet and get you
jumbles or strawberry short-cake. For she prided herself on her cooking, and generally
insisted on making the fancy dishes herself.
You did not always find her sewing or occupied with the house-work, however, for often
she was reading a church paper or her little Testament; the latter usually lay in her work-
basket. When you came she would put the book aside and talk to you gently but seriously
of goodness and patience. Perhaps you would ask if you might go with her to church next
Sunday. She was always pleased to be asked this, and on the following Sabbath would slip
a few peppermint drops into her pocket in order to give them to you if the sermon was
very long.
When your visit was over, she would probably go with you to the front steps and would
kiss you, saying, "My dear child, you have been very good; tell your mamma so, and ask
her to let you come and spend the day with us very soon." And then you would run home.
Yes, it is a long time since the little old lady last kissed you good-bye, and you, your
childish heart filled with love, hugged the wee form and kissed the sweet face again and
again. Serena Cobia Bailey.

Tune : " Believe me if all those endearing young charms."
St. Mary's ! wherever thy daughters may be,
They love thy high praises to sing ;
And tell of thy beauties of campus and tree
Around which sweet memories cling.
They may wander afar, out of reach of thy name.
Afar, out of sight of thy grove,
But the thought of St. Mary's aye kindles a flame
Of sweet recollections and love.
Beloved St. Mary's ! how great is our debt I
Thou hast cared for thy daughters full well ;
They can never thy happy instructions forget,
Nor fail of thy virtues to tell.
Generations to come may thy fair daughters still
Fondly think on thy halls and thy grove
And carry thy teachings — o'er woodland and hill —
Of earnestness, wisdom, and love. H.

"What are the Girlies running for?" the Simple Being cries;

"And don't they dress before they go?" the Simple Being cries;
"They'd rather finish on the run," wise Know-It-All replies.
"For they wouldn't miss a roll-call tho' they came ten times a day,
For that's when the L. P. lectures and the Rector speaks his say.
(They are on their good behavior, and it isn't any play),
You have still a heap to learn, dear, at St. Mary's.
"Why are the Girlies pushing so?" the Simple Being cries;
"It is a generous way they have," good Know-It-All replies.
"Then why proceed so cautiously?" the Simple Being cries;
"The L. D. doesn't quite approve," good Know-It-All replies.
"They are forming now the Chapel line and listening for the bell,
Their thoughts are all of heaven, though they make you think — oh well.
You mustn't be too hard on them that they like to go pell-mell,
You have still a heap to learn, dear, at St. Mary's.
"Why are the Girlies Btaring so?" the Simple Being cries;
"They long to see the Riders start," wise Know-It-All replies.
"But if they're going, why don't they go?" the Simple Being cries;
"You've asked now one too hard for me," wise Know-It-All replies.
"They are clinging to their horses, their mettle for to try;
They are showing off their horses (not themselves) you won't deny;
They're enjoying the sensation, but they'll start off bye-and-bye.

"Why are the Girlies weary so?" the Simple Being cries;
"The bell for walking-hour has rung," good Know-It-All replies.
"Why are they stretched upon the ground?" the Simple Being cries;
"The rain fell heavily last night," good Know-It-All replies.
"They must not be thought contrary when they show some strength of will.
There's no game at A. & M. this week, so they might as well be ill;
They could struggle to the Little Store, if you care to foot the bill.
Yes, you've still a heap to learn, dear, at St. Mary's.

'% &atb tije Jfip"
I belong to one of the oldest Fly families in this block, and my Ancestors for
many generations back (even as far as a whole year) have lived in a Newspaper
Office. I suppose that has developed my brain to an extraordinary degree and
given me such a love for literature that I used to spend the whole night crawling
over the newly-printed sheets of the " Morning Herald." With such strenuous
mental labor I became thin and nervous, until my wife declared we must mo\'e ;
the Newspaper atmosphere was too great a strain for everyday life. We were
packing up the furniture in our snug little home (an empty Huyler box), when
suddenly the cover was clapped on and we were in utter darkness ! After what
seemed an age, the cover was removed and out we buzzed to find ourselves in a
new country (which we afterwards learned was the snug bachelor quarters of
the young Assistant Editor).
My wife insists it was by chance we came there, — but women are so illogical !
Now my plan of reasoning is very clear. Flies are evidently of much importance
to men, and are equally admired and feared by them. For, (Number one) I have
often read in our paper of Flies being a most important factor in baseball games.
(Number two) Only the other day I noticed in big headlines, " Man run over
and killed by a fly on 24th St." (Of course that fly must have been a rather well-
developed member of our family.) After reading that headline, I tried running
as hard as I could over the bald head of my chief enemy, the City Editor. Kill
him? Well, I guess not! He simply gave his head a resounding slap, which
came very near putting me out of business for life. (Number three) Flies
occupy a most conspicuous place in the literature of men. Why, in that epic of
all ages (any cultured person will know what I mean) there is a whole verse
devoted to our race, which begins,
"I, said the fly,
With my little eye."
After these reasons, you will admit that the Assistant Editor most probably
kidnapped us on account of our importance and value — that is my opinion.
However that may be, we were very happy in our new home, and devoted the
morning to exploring expeditions, and the afternoons to reading Magazines.
But the chief event of the day was the mail. Whenever the Assistant Editor
opened a letter, we two were there, ready for the news. My wife always made
me begin at the head of the letter, while she began at the bottom and crawled up.
Woman's curiosity is noted, and of course she always flew first to the " P. S."
We soon became well acquainted with all the Editor's correspondents, especially
one who signed herself Alice. Her " P. S.'s " were sometimes pages long, and
the Editor would often read her letters five times over, without stopping — (which
I must admit provoked me, as I was anxious to see the more important news).
My wife would crawl over the lines as often as he read them, and once she said,
if she had ever wanted to send me any love letters, she would have written just
what Alice did.
One day an awful thing happened. The letter came, and I had hardly time
to light on the top of the page when my wife flew up to me. " What can be the
matter? There is no P. S., not a sign of one ! " Together we crawled over those
few short lines.
" You need not trouble yourself to call to-morrow. I am sending back your
ring by the next mail." " They have had a misunderstanding," my wife whis-
pered to me. " And they must make up ! " Are not all women born match-
makers ?
The Editor sat gazing into the fire, rigidly upright in his chair. Suddenly
the gleaming flame reflected on the charm of his watch fob caught his eye. He
opened the tiny locket and looked into the smiling eyes of the picture inside.
" By Jove, she can't mean all that ! I must see her myself." And he struggled
into his great coat. My wife looked at me with a glance that meant, " Go with
him, and report to me all that happens," and without a murmur I lit on his
shoulder.
I had often ridden there before, but never for so long a distance. Finally,
we went up some stairs and rang a bell. The servant who answered the door was
evidently used to seeing the Editor, and ushered him into the sitting-room without
a word. There before the fire, her face hidden in her hands, sat a young girl.
She looked up when she heard us coming, and the sudden joy in her sweet brown
eyes made even my fly heart beat the faster. " Douglas," she cried.
And then being a well-trained and gentlemanly fly, I deliberately turned my
back on them (though I was dying to look) and pretended that my sole desire in
life was to crawl over the wall-paper. After a long, long time I decided I could
with perfect propriety resume my favorite seat on the Editor's shoulder. I
buzzed over to where they sat, but I was too late — the Editor's shoulder was
otherwise occupied ! Margaret Rosalie DuBose.

Calendar
Old Father Time sat making up his books,
Anon he scratched and shook his hoary head,
Anon he murmured, "Dear, oh dear, oh dear,
I have the record of St. Mary's Year
To write, of all that there they did or said."
So straight he called to him his messengers,
Who for a while each at St. Mary's stayed,
And sought to know of all that there befell,
And later this to Father Time to tell,
When all the yearly record books he made.
"September" — Here a youth with chestnut curls
And ruddy cheeks, and eyes of hazy blue,
Came forward, and in accents crisp and clear,
He said, "Oh, Father Time, you'll think, I fear,
I've not performed the task I had from you.
"But long I stayed not in St. Mary's Grove,
And what I saw was much as other years,
Of maids who old acquaintances renew,
And make a-many a new acquaintance, too;
Or many a home-sick maid in bitter tears."
Then came October, clad in russet cloak,
A pleasant twinkle in his eyes of gray,
Like whistle of a merry wind, his voice,
Which makes the hearts of those who hear rejoice
And all crowd near to hear what he will say:
"A merry tale I bring you, Father Time,
Of ladies fair and lords of courtly grace,
Of gallant knights, of Emperors and clowns,
Of dreadful beasts, of elves and priestly gowns,
Who on 'All Hallowe'en there had their place."
November next appeared before Old Time,
Wearing the richest garments of the year,
A spacious basket held he in each hand,
Filled with the harvest fruits from every land,
And when he spoke his voice was sweet and clear:
"St. Mary's was in autumn glories dressed
When I within her portals made my way,
Her daughters greeted me with keen delight,
Their words, their faces and their hearts were bright
Because I brought them glad Thanksgiving Day."
December, in his ermine cloak of snow,
A holly wreath upon his frosty hair,
His scepter of the greenest mistletoe —
For he is king of all the year, you know —
Came singing carols free from every care.
"I brought the Christmas season when I came,
And filled St. Mary's full of joy and mirth;
I covered all the Grove with whitest snow,
And soon the maidens glad did homeward go
To keep the time of peace, good will on earth."
January.
Next cold and frozen January came,
And held his shaking fingers to the fire,
His sparkling eyes like icicles did shine,
And he in voice of wintry winds did whine
A doleful tale unto the worthy sire:
"A woeful time I at St, Mary's found,
No sign there was of joy or recreation,
The saddest time, I think, of all the year,
So filled it was with many a sigh and tear,
And all from one sad cause — examination."
Then solemn, thoughtful February came,
His steps were slow and low he bent his head,
The silence of midwinter filled the room
And over all was cast a spell of gloom,
While every one did listen, as he said:
"I found St. Mary's sadder than her wont,
And thoughtful seemed her maidens as they went
Each afternoon to prayer with footsteps slow,
With humble hearts, and reverent voices low —
For I was at St. Mary's during Lent."
But in rushed March ere February ceased.
lie held a tiny crocus in one hand.
His heavy locks were tossed about his face,
And swift he hurried in to take his place,
And thus began to answer Time's demand:
"I took St. Mary's just a glimpse of Spring,
'Old winter's past; now up and out,' I cried;
I told them of the coming of sweet May,
And spurred them on to mood more blithe
and gay
To greet the coming of the Easter-tide."
Then laughing April tripped into the room,
But soon her laughter turned to woeful cries,
She took her place before good Father Time,
Mid tears and smiles, and all in pretty rhyme,
Began a tale of maidens, ah so wise:
"Oh, Father, had you seen those maidens there,
Studying from early morn till midnight late,
Lost in the pages of some monstrous books,
Their faces bearing wise and knowing looks,
You'd wondered what the cause; 'twas The Debate.*
The last of all to come was Baby May,
Dressed in a dainty cloudlet, fleecy white,
Her eyes were of the deepest, freshest blue,
Her cheeks had caught the sunset's latest hue,
She lisped her tale in innocent delight.
"Oh, everything was happy as could be,
Maids all in white were seated in a row,
They tried to look so dignified and grave,
And did their very utmost to behave,
Till their diplomas had, then home did go."
And when they all had done, old Father Time
Most heartily did thank these servants good,
For going to St. Mary's, one and all,
And telling him of all that did befall,
In just the very best way that they could.
And he did straightway write their sayings down,
So if you don't believe my tale is true,
Why then, if you at Father Time's big book,
Will pause a moment, and will take a look,
You'll find there just what I've been telling you.
Helen Katharine Liddell.
9 T%it to Cast &ocfc
Filled once with a longing to visit again the scenes of my earthly habitation,
I sought for, and was granted, the privilege often accorded to those who have
thrown off the robes of mortality, to visit again the scenes of my mortal existence
"for one hour of human life." . . . That must mean not one hour as we
spirits count it, which may be eternity and would give time enough to review all
the vicissitudes of a mortal life, but an hour as humans count it, with all its
earthly limitations. Then, since I had but one such hour to spend, I must change
my plans and spend that hour among the scenes of greatest happiness, where
the happiest, most careless, free, and irresponsible days were spent ; free from
the thoughtless pleasures or intense sufferings of childhood, or the greater joys
but deeper sorrows of later life. . . . This must surely be the school days,
and with the thought, I stood upon the threshold of dear old St. Mary's.
Dear old St. Mary's ! had I been human, my heart would have glowed at the
sight, though it was night upon earth. What should I visit first — the dormitories,
Art Building, Rectory, Chapel? Even the Infirmary held a charm, but wait —
" one hour of human life " — that would scarcely be time for one building, so I
must choose quickly. Then my own East Rock.
So I climbed with all the lightheartedness of my earthly youth the familiar
East Rock stairs, and a longing filled me to know what manner of mortals now
dwelt within those dear familiar rooms. The inhabitants of East Rock were
wrapped in slumbers. How could I tell what manner of mortals they were?
As I wondered, a phrase well known in olden time came to my mind — "To sleep,
perhaps to dream" — ah, yes, to spirits is granted the power to see the thoughts
of mortals. I would look into the dear girls' dreams.
Therewith I passed into the room which I knew must be marked " Hall
Mother." " Hall Mother," however, must have been done away with at St.
Mary's, for within was a girl, and looking into her dream I saw — a large, beautiful
Basket Ball, quarreling with an equally large and beautiful Tennis Racquet as to
which was president of the "Athletic Association." I smiled as I remembered
former St. Mary's Athletic Associations, and passed out into the room marked
" J. Gilmer and E. Campbell."
A tall, handsome girl, which by spiritual instinct I knew for Campbell, smiled
as she dreamed of five hundred and fifty " A.-and-M.'ers " (how familiar it
sounds) at her feet in open adoration. " Happy girl," I murmured, and turned
toward Gilmer, whose dream was filled with a tall, dark woman seated at a piano.
. . . I then passed on to the next room, labelled " Henderson and Bailey."
I gazed at the calm, serene face which I knew must be Bailey's and was surprised
to find how troubled the dreams were. " The Muse " — where had I heard that
name before? Why, on earth, of course. She worked, toiled, labored, and
produced a good Muse by the tenth of the month, but could never get it out
before the twenty-fifth. " My sympathy, my dear," I whispered, for I, too,
had struggled with The Muse. . . . My gaze then turned to Henderson, a
chubby little woman who also was having troubled dreams. Her pet hair-brush

was lying where the whole school, one girl after another, passed, picked it up,
used it, and passed on, while she looked on in agony, powerless to say or do
anything. " Poor Kiddy," I murmured, and slipped into the room of "Corbett
and Arthur." . . .
What was the matter in East Rock? It was certainly filled with troubled
sleepers. The quiet, peaceful little word " dream " would hardly apply to Corbett,
who fancied herself rushing madly up and down the hall, wringing her hands and
crying, " Has anybody seen anything of a piece of music called ' Old Folks at
Home'?" ... I turned to the Arthur child, who was smiling in her sleep,
as well she might, for she dreamed of a soft, sweet, soothing serenade. A. & M.'s
musical ability must have greatly improved since my days on earth. . . .
Now the corner room. How we all fought to get that room ! I glanced
at the door: "Jones, Short, Wells," and passed inside. I looked at Jones first,
who may well be described by the earthly word " plump." What a dream ! She
was standing before a long mirror, and the image reflected in it was of a tall,
sylph-like creature — yea, more than sylph-like, actually thin. ... I hurried
on to Short, for I realized my time was passing, and as I glanced at her dream
I saw a large audience listening breathless to a wonderful prima donna. . . .
As I moved to Wells, a faint odor of violets came to me. Such a dream ! the
room filled so full of Parma violets that there was just room enough for her in it.
She smiled, and I saw that a " familiar strain from Lohengrin " was passing
through her mind.
But I must hurry, and I quickly passed to the next room. " Hales, Jer.iison,
Hines." Poor Hales, she dreamed that the, power of speech was to be taken from
her in two minutes, and that she was trying to say the greatest number of words
possible in that time. . . . Jemison dreamed of a large, luxurious bath-tub
filled with steaming-hot water, which was her's for eternity. . . . Hines,
dear child, was sleeping so peacefully that not even a dream disturbed her
slumbers.
The next room was " Watters and Liddell." Here, indeed, was a tragedy
in a dream ; for Watters dreamed that her shirt-waists were tearing to the laundry
and she was rushing after them to save them, was herself caught in the machinery
and rent in pieces. I shuddered, but could not help smiling. . . . Liddell
was dreaming that she was on time to something, and this seemed to startle her
so that I saw she was in danger of waking up, and I slipped hurriedly into the
quarters of " Strange and Prince."
Again I met happy dreamers, for though 'twas Strange, she dreamed she
had won the Inter-Society Debate and stood alone, victorious. Inter-Society
Debate, again a pang of remembrance. ... I did not have time to investigate
the dreams of Prince, for as I turned she murmured, " You know that's punk."
I agreed, and as my time had dwindled to almost nothing, I hastened to the last
room of " Ward and Wood." . . . My last pang of earthly remembrances
came to me when I saw the troubled face of Ward, who thought she was trying
to collect Chapter dues, which though " only five cents," no one would pay ; and
the happy expression of Wood, who dreamed she was at home.
My time was up, and there came over me a terribly real feeling that the bell
was going to ring. ... I slipped down East Rock stairs and vanished from
the earth. H. K. L.
It is Miss Pool, in a light-green waist,
And she stoppeth one of three.
"With thy short-sleeved dress, and thy low thin shoes,
Now come along with me."
II.
"The school-room doors are opened wide,
And they soon will close up fast;
Miss Katie dislikes us to come in late
After the time is past."
III.
She held her with her stony gaze —
The little prep, stood still,
And listened like a three-years child;
Miss 'Liza had her will.
rv.
"There was a little boy," quoth she,
"Who thinly clad, grew chill,
"Until when winter's blast blew strong,
"The little boy fell ill.
"Now where then are thy warm, thick clothes!
"Thy father I will write
"To send me money to buy you some,
"Before next Wednesday night.
VI.
"If on that waist again this week
"My practised eye should light,
"You may be sure, your dancing hours,
"You'll spend with me at night.
VII.
"Now go, my child, and mind my words."
The little prep, went on;
A sadder and a wiser girl,
She dressed the morrow morn. Sadie Thomas.

There was going to be a fine ball-game
That we all were "just crazy" to see.
It was sure to be very exciting
Which appealed much to people like me.
So we went and "conferred with the Rector,"
He looked at the "list" that we had
And said, "Daughters, you must get a teacher;
I've the laundry to fix. It's too bad."
We then went and begged Mr. Cruikshank.
He said, "How can I go with you?
I've not sent the Muse to the pres3 yet,
And I've alumnae business to do."
Then next we attacked poor Miss Fenner;
"Won't you chaperone us to the game?"
She replied: "Look out, I'm on the war-path.
Go away, Babes, as quick as you came."
Mr. Stone said that he'd gladly take us,
If 'twas not that an old college chum
And a lot of his numerous colleagues
Had to see him, so he could not come.
Miss Smith and Miss Thomas were weary
From helping along the debate.
Miss Pool had to see girls for "skipping,"
When she'd get through, it would be too late.
Misses Pixley and Hull had to practice
For a concert that they were to give.
Mrs. Turner, we would not impose on
For without her we never could live.
When we asked her, Miss Spann replied to us:
"With no vacant time am I blest ;
Mrs. Irvine is going out calling,
And I'm going to help her get dressed."
Miss Walton had too many patients.
Miss Sutton was busy with mail.
Miss Lee and Miss Katie laughed at us.
So we really began to grow pale.
To Miss Cribbs with our plea we resorted,
How we begged and implored her to go.
She was sorry that she had already
An engagement to go with a beau.
Then we went to our most youthful teacher,
At last some one favored our plea,
Miss DuBose said that she'd gladly take us.
We rushed and got ready with glee.
